title: A case of failure of tubal sterilization using Pomeroy's technique.
abstract: With reference to a case of pregnancy of a patient formerly subjected to tubal sterilization using Pomeroy's technique, the authors define the possibility for tubal stumps to recanalise. Despite the low percentage of failure in tubal sterilization using Pomeroy's technique, the authors conclude that it is advisable to make the earliest possible diagnosis of both intrauterine and extrauterine pregnancy on the basis of suspected symptoms in order to, especially for tubal pregnancies, avoid any tubal sterilization.
